Sure. I agree with that, no shoes no shirt, if you are on AOL you
accept "internet-lite".

Right now. Yet it has been apparent to me that many people are
begging for restrictions to be put in place. Restrictions on
spammers. The government saying anything about regulation of the
internet is bad... Yet people still scream about a couple of
unwanted e-mails. I'm saying that this spammer thing could be the
"kink in our armour" that lets the government into our little
playground here. Just suck it up and delete those messages.
Jog it off.

Anybody else have the cynical thought that the gubmint is trying to
*encourage* us to beg for regulation?
